What is Queers?

\`queer\
1. adj.
(a) strange, unusual
(b) gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered

2. n.
A member of the lgbt community.

Background:
Originally, "queer" was simply just another word for strange, unusual, or wierd. When gay people first started coming out of the closet, they were seen as strange, unusual, and diseased. Thus, the word "queer" began denoting someone who is gay, lesbian, transgendered, or bisexual. Recently, it has been adopted by many people in the LGBT commnunity as an acceptable umbrella term. However, not all people are comfortable using it.

1.
(a) That crazy person is quite queer.
(b) My friend is queer, she told me yesterday.

2.
Person A: Did you see that fucking queer? I hate them!
Person B: Shut up, dude, don't hate them for no reason. What did they ever do to you?

Queers - meaning

Originally meant to describe something as unusual or strange. Became a deroggatory word to describe homosexuals. More recently, it has been reclaimed by non-heterosexuals as a word used to describe themselves. Queer can now be used to describe homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people. In scholarly studies the word queer is also used to describe those who practice unconventional sex (e.g. bondage, etc.), therefore even heterosexuals can sometimes be defined as queer.

1. Your brother is a really queer guy.
2. I am a homosexual, part of the queer community.

Queers

An American punk band originally forming in 1982 by Joe King (a.k.a. Joe Queer). Inspired in large part by the Beach Boys and The Ramones, the band originally only stayed together a short time and broke up in 1984. Then, with inspiration still pumping, Joe re-assembled with new members in 1990 and are together (and still touring) today. Current line up includes Joe King (a.k.a. Joe Queer) on vocals, Dangerous Dave on guitar, Ben Vermin on bass, and Matt Drastic on drums. They, as of May 2007, have released 17 LPs, 16 EPs, 6 Splits, and 31 Compilations.
